Keys To Success: After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2003 last year, Coach Bryant and his players are hungry and motivated to make a return to postseason. Leading with way are a pairof game-changing players in senior quarterback Travis Cosby and senior wide receiver/defensive back Will Toliver. Cosby gained valuable experience last year learning the Canyon spread offense throwing for 2,025 yards and 16 TDs. The physical Toliver will be a matchup problem for defensive backs throughout District 3-4A. Also, Canyon started seven sophomores last year and those lessons learned will be a benefit in 2011.
